Location
Melides has quietly emerged as one of Portugal’s most refined coastal destinations — a place where architecture, craftsmanship, and nature coexist in perfect balance. Tucked between pine forests and rolling dunes, it retains the tranquility of Alentejo while welcoming a new wave of discreet luxury. Boutique hotels such as Vermelho Hotel by Christian Louboutin and Pa.te.os exemplify this aesthetic: modern design grounded in local materials and surrounded by unspoiled landscape.
The coastline remains remarkably pristine. Praia do Pinheirinho — a vast stretch of golden sand framed by dunes and forest — offers one of the most secluded beach experiences in Portugal. The Herdade do Pinheirinho estate provides direct access to this coastline, designed with environmental sensitivity and low-density development in mind, ensuring lasting harmony between architecture and nature.
Just a short drive north lies Comporta, long celebrated for its understated sophistication and culinary scene. Highlights include Cavalariça and Sem Porta, both Michelin-recommended for their contemporary Portuguese cuisine, and Xtian at Vermelho Melides, praised for its creative approach to local gastronomy. Together, Melides and Comporta define the Alentejo coast’s new era of luxury — one rooted in privacy, authenticity, and natural beauty.
